Hi, yes I already have found this information - problem is every single source record I
find with him in it has differing information - the census you pointed out has John's
father, David, being born in TN, and his mother born in VA - with him being born in
crawford county, IN.
Then his death certificate says his father was born in NY and mother born in Indiana!
There are some other publications that say he is "of southern birth in North
Carolina" - and that he had a famous geologiust uncle named William (who just
happens to have been born in ENGLAND!)
so needless to say I am going all over looking for birth information, finding absolutely
NOTHING at all that can officially connect my John Denton to ANYONE - PERIOD!
****sigh****
I need to know his PARENTS - where they were born, and dates. I am asking for someone in
Brown County, Indiana to lookup the information based on the marriage record of David
DENTON and Eliza Emeline BOLT on 21 April 1841.
